Description: Article about the history, characteristics, properties, harvesting, preparation and hand spinning of Llama wool. From Llamas of Atlanta.
For centuries man has looked to wool for a source of warmth in clothing and blankets. As trade routes opened from Asia, exotic fibers found their way to Europe. Angora goats, producers of mohair, originated in Asia's Himalayan mountains and migrated with their nomadic herdsmen to Turkey. They are named after the province of Angora, Turkey. The Kashmir goat whose fine undercoat produces cashmere, got its name form the Kashmir region of India. It still makes its home in the central Asian countries, with the best quality fiber coming from China. The camel has been used for centuries in the deserts of Africa and Asia for transportation as well as wool. The world's finest fiber, musk ox, is rarely available, though in 1954 an effort was begun to reestablish their numbers in Alaska.
